My Jesus, My Lord, My God, I place all my trust in you.
Salam Muslimah!
Quote:As for sins, in Sharia, there are punishments (Hududs). A Muslim ruler is authorised to apply those hudud only when the crime is proved, like in stealing, red handed murder, and zina for instance. Either one confesses that s/she committed this crime which is cuncurrentlly a sin or to be caught in action with witnesses supporting the act according to the stipulated regulations for each.
If the person repents, before s/he is caught, then this shall be between her/him and Allah, however, if the person for instances approaches the ruler, and confesses, thus, a ruler must apply the Had of Allah.
Ouch... that hurt! I had a feeling it was too good to be true :(
I have issues with people taking Divine matters into their own hands.
Before you ask... No, I don't support the legal system in the West either.
(Arabic) Ya dilly ana! Ya'rate, I ruled the world *sigh*
May God bless us & have mercy on us.
